re: #205 Dark_Falcon

I have a major problem with that. I don’t see a rich person having more influence as being problem, in fact I see it as a good thing. Rich people need more influence in order to keep others from using the government to expropriate their wealth.

Moreover, if someone is willing to self-finance their political campaign, then in my opinion they should be able to do so to the extent that they are willing and able. If the less well-funded candidate gets snowed under as a result, then too darn bad. I don’t think that person has a right to have the law hobble a wealthy opponent for him just because he hasn’t got as much money.
